Import 27501 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 1 Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27501 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for reduced friction and improved chip evacuation, this bit carries a wire gauge size of 1, equal to 0.2280 inches in decimal. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common metals and plastics. Overall length is 3-7/8 inches with a 2-5/8 inch flute length, giving it the reach typical of jobber-series bits while remaining compatible with standard drill chucks and magnetic drill presses.

This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical rough-in, and general fabrication work. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks on portable drills, drill presses, and right-angle drill attachments. The right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned point reduce thrust required at entry, making it practical for hand-held drilling in confined spaces during trade installations. Minimum order quantity is 12 pieces, making this appropriate for shop restocking or job-site kitting.

Key Features

• Wire size 1 (0.2280 inches decimal) for precise hole sizing in standard applications
• 118-degree standard point angle compatible with most metals and plastics
• High speed steel construction withstands heat generated during continuous drilling cycles
• Oxide coating reduces surface friction and slows corrosion during storage
• Web-thinned, tapered web design lowers entry thrust and reduces walking on hard surfaces
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any 3-jaw chuck or drill press accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.2280 inches shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill or drill press is fully powered down and the chuck has stopped rotating. Secure the shank fully into the chuck and tighten all jaws evenly before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard steels to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Follow applicable OSHA and shop safety requirements for eye protection and guarding when operating rotating cutting tools.
